Apartments And Penthouses At Thornlea Court
The Sunderland Echo, November 2007Thornsett Group has launched its first residential scheme, Thornlea Court in Thornhill Park, Sunderland.
The Mayor of Sunderland, Leslie Scott, officially opened the company’s show apartment.
Situated in Ashbrooke, Thornlea Court is a gated development of 24 two bedroom apartments and four three bedroom penthouses. There is dedicated on site parking for each apartment and each penthouse has a spacious terrace and the ground floor apartments have their own private gardens.
Bernadette Cunningham, Director of Thornsett Group said:
"Sunderland is undergoing a £1 billion regeneration which began in 2004 and is expected to be completed in 2016, by which time the city is expected to require new housing for an additional 11,000 - 14,500 people.
"The city has been tipped as one of the key cities in Europe to invest in for businesses looking to relocate and especially those involved in the IT industries.
Brendan Hackett, Director, Hackett Property, who is marketing the property, said: "Thornlea is in a quiet leafy cul de sac of large Victorian houses, yet only a short walk into the city centre. It is appealing mostly to owner occupiers and especially those down-sizing from larger houses in the area.
"Thornsett’s development represents a whole new level of construction and specification, as well as sophistication and style, that we don’t see in the mainstream housebuilders."
Coun Leslie Scott, said: "It is very pleasing to see a housebuilder like Thornsett, who has prestigious schemes in London and Brussels, attracted to development opportunities in Sunderland. I am most impressed with the quality of construction and the very high specification of their work."
Sunderland also enjoys very good rail, tube and air services.
The new intercity rail service direct to London Kings Cross is due to start in the New Year and the city is also on the Metro into Newcastle. Sunderland is also convenient for improving services to both UK and international destinations from both Durham Tees and Newcastle airports.
Prices at Thornlea Court start from £162,500. The Thornsett Group has homes for sale on developments in Pembroke, North Wales, Brussels and London with further developments in the pipeline in both Darlington and two further schemes in London.
